Paul Martin's American Grill San Mateo

I went to Paul martins in Manhattan beach it was fancy and clean. Then tried this place out in hillsdale and it was like eating at a Fridays or apples bees. The server kept itching his head. I was grossed out.food was not that good.

My girlfriend and I was shopping at the mall decided on a bite to eat the place looked inviting the bar had space we sat down had a couple of drinks the food was fantastic. I will definitely be back

This was my first time dining at this restaurant, and it will likely be my last. We went for lunch. It wasn 't busy at all, yet our orders took over 45 minutes to arrive. I had the express lunch of a fried chicken breast. Greasy, dry, and not hot. Another person in my party had the cheeseburger, and she didn 't finish it. She said it looked great, but it was dry and cold. I wonder if our plates sat for a while. The server, while pleasant, did not check in on us frequently, and we had to wait a bit to place our order, then later we had to find her to inquire about our meals. She then apologized and mentioned a party placed an order right before us. Seems like a strange excuse as restaurants should be able to handle more than two orders at a time. I had somewhat high expectations as the restaurant seems to have good reviews. Maybe it was an off day, but for the prices, I 'm not sure I 'd risk another meal there.

The ribs were great. Meat just fell off the bone. The waiter was very attentive.

My food, the service, the attention and timing for my meal was great thank you!
